Market figures from the 25 September 2026 build snapshot. Open the live view for real-time exchange prices and charts.
77,644,242 of a maximum 84,000,000 LTC have been issued, 92.4% of the total that will ever exist.
Litecoin is secured by 2.63 PH/s of its own work. Hashrate does not compare across algorithms — a SHA-256 hash and a Scrypt hash cost different amounts to produce.
Named a digital commodity in the joint SEC-CFTC interpretation (Mar 17, 2026).
Reported as the regulator's position, not ours. Assets nobody has ruled on are left unclassified rather than sorted by our own guess.
An asset counts once. Wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins are claims on something already in the list, so they are listed separately rather than added to the total. That's why Litecoin sits at #15 here versus #24 elsewhere — the 9 positions between them are claims we don't count as separate assets. The methodology sets out both rules, and the counting rule argues for them.
